"Poseranity is not your normal 'Christian book' aimed at marketing the latest version of Jesus-chic with current youth ministers and the youth culture. It is a profoundly moving personal story and reflective odyssey of one man’s efforts to discover what it means to be an authentic Christ-follower in an era when religious consumerism and “Churchianity” seem hopelessly confused with God’s uncompromising demands on our lives. This book says far more through simple narrative what hundreds of glib theological critiques and spiritual self-help books have failed to tell us about the crisis of contemporary American Christianity.”

"Tony has written a book that asks hard questions of all of us who claim
the name of Christ. Through the years of working with Tony, the Underground,
and Shoutfest, he was always driven by a deep need for reaching society
with the Gospel in unique and challenging ways. Tony never wanted
status-quo and his book admirably communicates that."
-Jeff Roberts, President of JRA. Nashville, TN.
If it sounds at all trivial at first, something is about to happen....
Just as you will, I began to read... As I read, I became not just a reader of - but a part of, a marvelous journey. A journey taken by a man, who not only loves God. But by the Spirit you feel in reading what Tony Brown wrote, you are assured that God loves Tony Brown too. Assured that God is still there for us all, still waiting on us to get it right and still on our side.
The marvelous thing to me about this book. Is the way a lot of my questions were answered. Questions I have had for years. And knowing there are people just like me, who have had the same questions. What Tony Brown accomplished where the rest of us have failed, is knowing the right QUESTIONS. Most of us go to God in confusion, not knowing what to ask. Not knowing how to express what is on our heart... and really....not knowing God...This is a must have, must read, must share book. If ever one was written...

Tony Brown in this book calls himself an "ordinary man" but through the process of taking the journey with him page after page, you will quickly find that his ordinary was God's plan to prepare him for something extraordinary, "Poseranity". If you have ever truly wanted to connect with an author and believe in what he says, then this exploration of within is your must read. Tony B. is "REAL" and "Poseranity" will challenge you to become the same.

'Poseranity challenges your heart and shakes the core of your faith.''
Its a powerful illustration in that you Seek First...and allow Gods plan for your life to engage and affect the culture in which you live!''
Can't wait for more !

“I appreciate that Tony's book is not another attack on the church. It's an exposé on what is wrong inside of us. It's a journey into why we have such great expectations of what could be, and frustration over what we end up getting. He's honest about the problems, but he points the finger at his own heart first. As I read, I found myself entertained, deeply moved, inspired, and challenged. You should buy this book and give it to ten people who have stopped going to the church you attend.”
-R. James Shupp, Pastor, Castle Hills First Baptist Church, San Antonio, Tx.
"Poseranity is a book that causes you to look in the mirror and think about your relationship with Christ and not just "playing Church". Tony has done a great job of being brutally honest in his telling of his walk with Christ and how we all can role play our Christianity. This book is "The Real Deal". I couldn’t put it down.”

“Tony Brown leads you into an excursion of both his mind and past that has transformed his soul into a state of restoration. The author does an exceptional job of revealing his innermost feelings on not only the topic of life but also his in-depth look into the world of Christianity today.”

Welcome to Poseranity. You have
been activated. Your number has come up, and life as you have known it is
over. You are about to embark on a
journey, and you will never be the same again.
This is not just another Jesus
book, like the thousands of other Jesus books on the Christian market today.
You did not choose this book…it chose you. You have circumstances in your life
right now that this book will speak to. This book is not interested in your
personal philosophy, preference, doctrine, ideology, denomination, style, or
socio-economic status. It has little regard for your health, wealth, position,
or personal prosperity. If that is what you were hoping for, you can choose
now, between disregarding the fact that you have been chosen for this book,
putting it down and not reading it, or turning just one more page.
There is restlessness within you
that you are trying to satisfy, you are awakening spiritually, and you’re
looking for answers. That is why you were chosen. There are no accidental
meetings. You may have never given any serious thought to your spirituality
before, or you may have been engulfed by Religion. Maybe you thought you had it
all figured out, and knew all the answers, but suddenly have been forced to ask
different questions because the spiritual climate has changed in the
environment you find yourself in now. You may even be in a position of
leadership within a local congregation, a Pastor, or some other kind of
minister, and yet something is amiss, and you know it. You may have been
involved in Church your entire life, and now you find yourself on the outside
looking in. You may have become disillusioned, or disappointed with your church
experience, and you’re looking for a better one. But you keep finding the same
thing over and over again. You feel trapped. You feel empty and dead inside.
